NUMBERS 23:19. God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He not said, and shall He not do it? or hath He not spoken, and shall He not make it good? What is that miracle you want God to do in your life? God will bring it to pass if only you believe. Am encouraging you not to give up hope. Hold unto His word, locate where in his word is talking about your need specifically and see changes in your life. It shall come to pass. Believe!

PHILIPIANS 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Every Christian loves this scripture and I love it too but we fail to look at what we need to do to bring about the supplying. God's promises is ever sure, He never fails; though it may tarry it will surely come to pass. Let's look at Philippians 4:1-19 verse by verse and see what we need to do to bring about our God given supply Verse 1= Stand fast in the Lord. Hold unto His word. Verse 2= Be of the same mind. Don't keep malice, have hatred and envy towards one another. Verse 3= Offer help and assistance to your fellow brethren. Verse 4= Rejoice always. Don't let sadness and depression take hold of you. Remember "with joy shall you draw waters out of the wells of salvation". Be joyful at all times no matter the circumtances surrounding you. Verse 5= Let your stand be know to all men. Others may, I will not. Get involved in soul winning. Jesus...

READ: PSALMS 84:7-12 Psalms  84:7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God. Psalms  84:8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah. Psalms  84:9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. Psalms  84:10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand.

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away behold all things are become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17. God wants whats best for everyone. He gave you the life you are living. He loves you. How? He sent His only son to die for your sins(John 3:16). All He is asking is for you to give that life back to Him for safe keeping. Yes! You may be a committed church goer but 'are you really in Christ and Christ in you?' "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Look at it this way, you trust the bank for the safe keeping of your money even when you know the bank can fold at any time. Why don't you give your life to God and trust Him with it. God is calling. If you want to take this important decision, pray this prayer: Heavenly Father, I come to you today. Thank you for this opportunity you have given me. I believe that Jesus died for my sins. I repent of all my sins. Please forgive me. Take me as you...
